This week: Channel 10 gambles on a new timeslot for Australian Survivor 2027 as it goes head-to-head with the Australian Open and Married At First Sight. Plus, Media McKnight's exclusive FOI documents finally expose the ABC's Easter cover-up, including a text exchange between former News Director Justin Stevens and Head of Regional, Rural and Metro News Donna Field that proves the network changed its bulletin plans — and then lied about it. There's also outrage in Senate Estimates after the Defence department demanded censorship of committee footage, and a look at whether officials actually have a point about protecting witnesses on social media. And television turns 70 this week — so why doesn't the industry care?
